Before signing up for Tiller, what is the difference between using Excel and Google Sheets? When reading the information pages, it is so confusing to get a true picture of what feature works with each and what feature doesn’t work with each. Is there a comparison chart of them?
We don’t have a comparison chart but, if you don’t have a preference, I’d highly recommend Google Sheets. At this time, we offer more templates, tools and workflows for Google sheets… particularly if you’re interested in some of the features of the Tiller Community Solutions Add-on.

Google Sheets is definitely the way to go with Tiller, and if you haven’t used it in a while, it’s come a LONG way from where it used to be. The best feature you get with Google Sheets that you don’t get with Excel is the ability to use the auto-categorization feature where you can set up custom rules for transactions to go to certain categories.

Now that you will be getting an influx of ex-Mint users, you should create one.

It isn’t a chart, but the Should I use Tiller for Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel? help article does enumerate differences.

Google Sheets is a lot faster for me. I tried Excel for about a week, customized it, got all my data imported from Mint, and it was slow. Did the same in Google Sheets and it was much more responsive. The add on selection and browser extension are also big reasons to use Sheets over Excel.
The thought of using anything other than Excel for spreadsheet work gives me the chills. Maybe it’s my age.
